A BLANKET OF PEACE

Hopeless Release

As we teeter on the edge of the Aquarian Age I felt compelled to reach out to my deck of Angel Vibrational Cards by Debbie Anderson. As I shuffled, I asked for direction with the ending of this years energy and the beginning of 2020’s new energy. At random a card flew out and landed on my desk.

“Hopeless Release” “The indication that something is hopeless, according to this decks guidance, is just in our perception. Every vibration that we encounter has a purpose, a reason for being, where it is in your life. At this time in your life you need to let go, releasing whatever feels discouraging or impossible to finish. Do not feel despair about what is happening to you. Everything happens for a reason”.

As we enter the year of Clear Vision 2020, we will be challenged by all the changes that need to occur. These changes will stir up stuff within us and around us. Deeper layers are brought forward for clearing, as light overtakes the darkness we have been surrounded by. We are not victims but quite the opposite. We are spiritual beings first – infinite beings maintaining a physical human form.

During 2020 we are called to accept the challenges and to respond in an encouraging and beneficial way. Some of us are called to meditate more, to activate higher vibrations, others to accept that changes do not have to be bloody or difficult. It is about freeing yourself from limitations and enslavement and you are doing so with the most perfect tool you have. Your heart! The more we envision change coming with ease, the more we will create a peaceful flow, even among the fear mongers.

Keep your eyes on the light within you and around you at all times. Be focused on what you love, who you love, and keeping your heart open for more love to flow through.

You will be transformed as you create a blanket of peace!

Today

Today I shift

leap

aware

of the Goddess within

Now

is the moment

to let go

as a ripple in perpetual motion

Pushing

creating

to rise up

shape shifting

Law of Divine right action

Today I choose

Love

my thoughts

aware

I create my own world

Yonder breaks a new and wonderful morning

You are divine, YOU ARE DIVINE! It is time my family and friends for you to realize who you truely are.

As we start this year refreshed, let us keep our hearts pure, practice self love and look forward to the new day dawning in the coming age. We are at a fork in the road of life right now and we must choose our paths. There is the unknown one forging ahead, fearless, in self fulfillment, spiritual awakening and love for all humanity. The other path leads to maintaining our surviving, settling, self serving and contains our limited belief patterns and negative thoughts.

Choose wisely my friends!

The signs have been present this year directing you towards patterns, synchronicities, and dreams that only you know about. These signs are directing you towards your souls purpose, your hearts desires! I hope you were able to recognize them. I believe many of you will awaken this year from the dream state we have all been in. Memories will be recalled, visions seen, dreams will come true. This is your higher self directing you to realign to your souls purpose.

Let us walk boldly this new year where no man or woman has gone before, teetering on the edge of the “What If’s” we have always thought about. What If you quit your job or retired? What If you tried that new relationship, or forgave that person? What If you let go of your judgements or jealousies? What If you helped a stranger, believed in yourself or let others help you? What If each of us actually did this?

My wish for all of you in the coming year, is whatever your highest desire is for yourself! Wholeness today and always, keep your hearts open to hope, for yonder breaks a new and wonderful morning.

Lest We Forget

Today I remember my father who was a WW2 Veteran. He enlisted in North Bay with the Algonquin Regiment at the age of 17 and served his country well. He was stationed in Belgian for a time and took part in the invasion at Juno Beach. He was hurt only a few months before the end of the war and returned to Canada after recovery.

He was greatly affected by the war and rarely spoke about it. He passed away in 2007 at the age of 88.

He was a calm positive influence in my life and I miss him greatly!

To all the Veterans today, I salute you! To all those who are enlisted in the Reserves, and in the Canadian Armed Forces you are appreciated for all you do!

YOU ARE MY HERO

My awakening started when I was 4 yrs old and I chose reading books over watching T. V. When I realized I could do amazing feats in my dreams and when I learned we murdered Jesus!

From then until now I have struggled to live in this dualistic, wealth whopping, scandalous, captivating empire called Earth. How do we not sell a bit of our soul at times as we strive for love and inclusion? I am truly grateful for my belief system that occasionally pulls me up by my collar and sets my soul back on the path. You know the one that leads to world peace, unity and brotherly love! The one we are all suppose to be on!

How is it that I am here, awake, eyes wide open, living life, when all I see or hear in the media is about the worst parts of humanity ? The news casts gloomy renditions of the chaos around us. Wars, fear, death, disease and the scare tactics that go with each of them. A constant reminder of the lack of hope they seem to spread. The controlled media uses lies to hide the truth. It’s a new sport in town where dooming articles are fishing for our soul energy and reeling us in like unsuspecting food sources. Why is that? Why do they want us all in dried surrender? Feeding us dirty water as we quench our need to know the truth.

It’s our world too! where are our heroes? People who speak up and challenge the lies. Men and women who demand to be represented by those we elect in positions of power over us. Where are the people with eyes to see and ears to hear what the spirit is saying? where is our living water, our truth?

As I teeter on the edge I stopped watching and listening to the news media. I aligned with my 4 yr old self who apparently knew better! I know order comes out of chaos, so I am not afraid. I also know who I am. My awakening self began with this first step, watching what I see and listen to. I choose to live life asking questions and finding the truth that lies at the centre of all things, all situations and in all experiences. Truths that I may not even want to hear or be ready to accept, but valiant truths that align with my soul.

As I live my life my challenge and calling is to awaken and unite humanity. Humanity deserves to live without being manipulated, controlled and in slavery to all who are in power over us. We were created to live in balance with ourselves and nature, under universal law that states
“hurt no satient being”. My challenge is to question everything until I find a common thread of truth that everyone can accept that will unite us all! People I will need help!

Until then I have abundant omnipresent hope. The palimpsest of hope demands your ability to peel the layers. Starting with understanding and then moving towards actions you can take that support a better world, a happier family, and a more balanced & harmonized self. Hope is the basis of the hero within you and in the words of “Humble the Poet”,

“We need to be the hero in the book
of our life in order to save ourselves
from all the shit we are surely to encounter!”

A moment captured in time

of a fathers struggle to live

even in the depths of pain and discomfort.

Resting in a chair at window ledge

peering and frowning as if to memorize,

immortalize this moment.

A mini vacation set aside

to help rejeuvenate and de-stress.

Niagara Falls river rushing by

through windowpane.

His pain as deep and disguised

as the rivers current.

Mom notices his absence of thought

and clicks the camera.

The flash awakens his dreamy state

as he smiles at her

What was he thinking?

She loves him dearly and misses him already.

A black and white photo left behind

that will never reveal

the life of colour they shared in the 51 years of marriage!

The Wilderness of Poetry (Won a place in Gertrudes Writing Room annual 2020 chapbook contest)

In the wilderness of poetry

I’m wondering if you can envision

what I ascertain?

Readers are so subjective

I search for truth, beauty and

courage in life

I grasp for inclusion

I am wild, free, alone

creating a moment

of belonging

Do you even see the forest for the trees?

A dangerous place

this wilderness

damp, earthy

vulnerable poetry

How will you even see me with closed eyes?

My breath like a slow fog expels

I smell the pines in the forest

standing firm, grounded, expansive

limbs spread upward in worship

I belong here

My pen is my voice

like the smell of the pines

It cries out to be noticed

Fragrant words seducing you closer

vowels lighting the narrow path

to the truth, beauty and courage of the forest

Standing firm, I succumb to the wilderness

within me

anticipating true belonging.
